Hi!

Don''t know if it''s the correct forum but here is the question :

If you have a diamond band who rubs the metal of a 18k gold ring would it be dangerous for the diamond of the band or for the metal of the ring?

Excuse my bad english.... I have difficulties to compose my question. If you don''t understand don''t hesitate to ask. Sorry...

The diamonds will scratch the gold.

Thank you Dreamer. If the prongs of the band touch the 18k metal, the result will be?

14 or 18 k gold.

I ask because I have a diamond ballerina ring. I use it as my engagement ring.

For now, I wear it with a 3mm 14k plain white gold band (cheapo and thin) and the band pass under the ballerina ring. I don''t like that.

I would like to have a diamond band but I''m afraid to scratch the diamond or the metal of my ring.

I don''t find solution...

I think a spacer is the solution. Wear a very thin gold band immediately beside the e-ring, and then the diamond band. This will keep the diamond bandfrom rubbing the e-ring and will also stop it from tucking under the e-ring and hiding from view.

Thank you! Do you think my thin white gold band will do the job as a spacer even if it pass a little bit under my diamond ring?
